Last Updated on July 9, 2024
If you're curious about trying sex toys for the first time, you're not alone! Beginners who browse an adult store website are often faced with confusion at first because there are so many vibrators, dildos, anal toys, strokers, stimulators (just to name a few) to choose from. So now you're left asking:
How to choose the best beginner-friendly sex toys? Ask a Sexpert! That's right, I am here to provide some hand-picked selections that are the perfect sex toys for beginners about to embark on a world of unlimited sensual pleasures.
Best Dildo for Beginners
Dildos are the ideal beginners sex toy. Why? The secret lies in its simplicity, dildos are super easy to use!
The phallic realistic dildo imitates the feel of penetrative sex, perfect for fulfilling a secret sexual fantasy. Since the selection of dildos for sale is rather plentiful, each person is free to find the exact size, shape, color and detail that best suits their sexual preferences, so essentially, a dildo can feel better than sex. Dildos can be for women or men and enjoyed anally or vaginally. (All kinks and fetishes accounted for!)
Dildos are also the easiest sex toy to use. First timers don't need complicated instructions to enjoy a good orgasm. Simply lube it up, insert, and thrust in an erotic motion just like partnered sex. Sexual pleasure fully customized: slow, fast, hard... experience any pleasure that gets you off. Simply lay back and enjoy!
Basic Realistic Dildo with Balls
Basic Realistic Dildo with Balls is my all-time favorite dildo for beginners. It is perfect for a lady who desires a sexually pleasing toy to enjoy for the first time, but does not want anything too freaky, large or expensive. The substantial mushroom head has a gentle slope for recreating the finest part of sexual intercourse: The slow probing of the penis head. Super orgasmic!

- Insertable Length: 5 3/4 inches
- Diameter: Shaft ranges from 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 inches
- Material: PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride

Best Vibrator for Beginners
Vibrators can be complex. Sure it may be appealing, but for the true newbie, I really suggest something simple. After experimenting with sex toys for a while, you'll soon discover how much fun different varieties are, so you'll soon have a collection of vibrators of all types. After all, variety is the spice of life!
Bullet vibrators are the easiest sex toy for beginners to use. Simply hold the bullet vibe on the clitoris and enjoy external clitoral stimulation. You can even reach an orgasm without vaginal penetration! Bullet sex toys are also enjoyed by couples during penetrative sex.
If you are interested in penetration, the vibrating dildo is the next best thing. Think dildo sex toy but with stimulating & tingling vibration. Multi functions and speed settings allows you to customize the intensity that feels best for you.
The G spot vibrator is one to seek out. All beginners need to know is to insert the G spot sex toy about 3 inches inside the vagina. Point the curve towards the front of your body and enjoy thrilling G-spot stimulation. Easy-peesy!
Pearlessence Small G Spot Vibrator
Pearlessence Small G Spot Vibrator is as basic as it gets. When customers ask me about first timer G spot vibrators, this little fella is always what I lead them to first. When trying something new, a cheap price is always a bonus and an incentive to buy. But it doesn't end there!
This perky toy is short, stout and features a slight glimmering surface to enhance its ladylike appeal. Men also like it as its one of the preferred male prostate massagers too because the stout shaft and extra steep curve hits the mark super easily. It can find the zone even if you don't know where it is. The short shaft means you won't accidentally be searching to deep.
- Length: 5 1/2 inches
- Girth: 1 inch
- Texture: Solid & smooth plastic
- Motor: Multi speed
Best Stimulator for Beginners
There are SO many types of clit stimulators for women. These mini vibrators are good libido boosters and are useful for menopausal women who need extra sexual arousal to get in the mood for sex.
The clit sucker vibrator is by far the most popular clit stimulator toy right now. The vacuum suction or pressure drum imitates the sensation or oral sex. These can be enjoyed for solo masturbation or during couples play.
Choosing the Best Toy for Sex Play
Here's a quick guide on what type of sex toy best suits solo masturbation, penetrative sex and foreplay with your lover:
- Solo masturbation: - The G-spot rabbit vibrator is the best sex toy for intense orgasms. Insert it, place the bunny ears over the clitoris and enjoy dual stimulation and a speedy orgasm.
- Teasing foreplay: - The finger vibrator is perfect for playful fun with your lover. It encourages intimacy and body exploration and is also good for sensory, clit and nipple play.
- For penetrative sex: - The vibrating cock ring is perfect for enhancing sexual pleasure all hands-free! Deep penetration is rewarded with stimulating perianal or clit vibration.
Vedo Clit Sucking Vibrator
Vedo Clit Sucking Vibrator has the most powerful vibrating motor of them all. It uses an air pressure drum and air waves bursts to imitate the suction, but our testers found that it feels more like a tickle compared to vacuum suction.
It is a new concept and an evolution of what we know about vacuum suction vibrators. The focus is more on the vibration as opposed to the vacuum, but that is not a disadvantage at all, this is simply something entirely different. We love it, and are confident you will too.
Key Features:
- Ergonomically shaped for easy use
- Most powerful vibration of any sucker toy
- Fully submersible underwater for fun in the tub
- Includes a fancy storage box

| Motor | 3 speeds & 7 vibrating patterns |
| Wateproof | Yes |

Best Anal Sex Toy for Beginners
When it comes to first time anal play, think thin & tapered. A narrow, tapered butt plug inserts more comfortably and provides the beginner with a good experience so they'll want more. The stimulating tingle in the anus during sex and masturbation greatly enhances orgasms and feels really good.
Anal toys for men & women come in all shapes & sizes, but if you click the filter “small” on the side bar, it will highlight all the beginner friendly butt plugs, anal dildos and vibrating butt plugs that you should try first.
The most important advice for beginners is to use anal lube. Anal lube differs from regular sex lube; water-based anal lube is thick and viscous like a gel so it stays in place and doesn't make a mess on your butt cheeks. Unlike the vagina, the anus does not lubricate itself so for comfort and to prevent tissue damage, proper lubrication is paramount.
Small Luxe Beginner Butt Plug
Small Luxe Beginner Butt Plug is the epitome of introductory first time anal toys. It's long enough to be noticed as it pokes gently deep into the anus, but thin for minimal interference. All the while, the belly maintains a totally reasonable girth. Tiny in comparison to other beginner butt plugs for sale. It can bend and flex as needed to prevent too much poking when worn.
Product Specifications:
- Total Length: 3 1/4 inches
- Insertable Length: 2 1/2 inches
- Diameter: 3/8 inch across the tip, 3/4 inch across the thickest point
- Material: Silicone
- Color Options: Black, Pink, Purple
Best Male Sex Toy for Beginners
Now for the guys! Male sex toy categories include various types of dick strokers, blowjob toys, vibrating cock rings, penis sleeve toys, penis masturbators and more. Just like with women's vibrators, complexity abounds, but so does simplicity.
In this case, I recommend a simple masturbation stroker sleeve for jerking off. The thick padding feels different than your hand. Vibrating, ribbed, beaded, various textures are available to satisfy any sexual desire and preference you may have.
Some sex toys for men such as the pocket pussy are amazingly realistic. Small hand-held strokers are inexpensive yet provide amazing pleasure. The technology is impressive – anal strokers feel like anal sex. Pussy strokers feel like sex with a woman. Beginners take note!
Guys benefit from anal stimulation too. The prostate gland is essentially the male G-spot so don't ignore the powerful sexual potential of this highly sensitive erogenous zone. We stock plenty of beginner-friendly small & thin prostate toys that you can use while you masturbate to boost the pleasure of your orgasm.
Jackits Male Sex Toy
Jackits Male Sex Toy is a clever and creative masturbation toy for men that feels thick, silky and soft. Regardless of your penis size, you'll enjoy the stroking sensation since there is no hole to squeeze into. This floppy sleeve has deep grooves along the surface which adds a stunningly awesome texture to your regular jack off sessions.
Apollo Male Prostate Massager
Apollo Male Prostate Massager is the ideal prostate toy for curious men. Beginners appreciate the smoothly tapered tip and ultra thin and flexible neck that minimizes rectal stretch. Curved tip naturally rams the prostate and the fin shaped base is easy to hold while trying it solo. The ideal discreet prostate milking toy to enhance orgasms.
- Length: 4 1/2 inches
- Diameter: Slightly under 1 inch
Mayla's Favorite Lube for First Timers
Lube is oh-so important for your pleasure. If you use sex toys dry, it pulls the skin, especially for materials like silicone, rubber and gel, the surface grabs the skin and it really doesn't feel very good. Water-based lube is best for beginners because it won't stain bed sheets, it is compatible with all sex toys and is condom safe.
Sure silicone lube feels slicker since it does not evaporate, but for simplicity, I suggest water based lube. (Silicone needs to be washed off with soap & water and is not compatible with silicone sex toys). All rules are off, use water based lube as liberally as you wish with any vibrator, dildo and anywhere in your house during sex play. Wetter is better (and sexier!)
Aloe Cadabra
Aloe Cadabra is a new organic brand of lubricant that is quickly claiming a solid position as the very best personal lubricant for sensitive skin. Containing over 95% organic aloe vera in every tube and FDA-cleared for your safety.
Lightly infused with organic essential oils to create a sensual, natural scent. If you want to steer clear of extra additives and flavorings, there is an unscented and unflavored option available.
Rich in essential vitamins and nutrients, Aloe Cadabra is an instant favorite of almost every woman who tries it for the first time. It's almost a gel-like consistency so it never feels runny. Perfectly safe with condoms & sex toys too.
It's one of the best gel water based lubes ever made, in my humble opinion! Aloe Cadabra is pH balanced to insure harmony with your body and edible, safe to ingest so it can be used for oral sex.
- Condom Safe: Yes
- Sex Toy Safe: Yes
- Volume: 2.5 ounces
